A place to write thoughts good and bad ,doubts and wishes. To do or not to do lists or pretty much anything floating around your head that will probably not make sense to anyone but you. A journal to express those repressed thoughts..to purge your mind so you can think more clear and move on. The journal I'm using is a hand bound one with watercolor and stone henge papers hand sewn with a codex binding so it will lay flat and has the look of a Coptic bound book but much faster to make...Try some automatic writing for yourself its quite freeing!<br />

My Face book friend Seth Apter from <a href="http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com/">The Altered Page</a> posted a beautiful picture last week of a stack of papers and books.When I seen this I thought how just a simple picture could be so powerful .The papers all painted,one group tied with a ribbon were inviting to look at,If you were able to unstack them I'm sure you would find many little treasures.That made me think of how many artists have their own stacks of papers on tables,book selves and desks and I know that they would be just as interesting to see so I made a comment or blurted out a suggestion to him for us to share ours with him and all of you,He is very kind and agreed so please go to his site and join in! Get stacking!H.D.

(Kozo ) I have a roll of it and boy its wonderful! Its soft to the touch yet strong to work with<br />
The idea of repeat patterns for me is a way to create something unique in mark making in small easy steps.I hope to develop a personal motif that i can use as a stamp for my other works like a signature<br />
When I did this this weekend i tried hard not to think of where i was going to put my first mark or what kind,I used watercolors they themselves have a mind of their own so that helped allot.<br />
One dot on the paper with my brush and the color spread followed by another...<br />
I did fold my rice paper into grids so i would have a guideline to follow and just repeated up and down the paper and letting my mind wonder...try this yourself use whatever papers you wish, you will see how your own unique mark will show up over a short time<br />

This morning i was going through some paper i had stashed and found a few sheets of ingress paper,Ive never tried it with watercolors and thought what the heck lets give it a whirl! I tore down a sheet into small pieces and splashed watercolors on and let the color flow where it wanted and let it dry<br />

I came back a little bit later and took a long look and thought that it kinda looked like a map..hmmm<br />
What if I outlined all the little shapes of color? I grabbed my favorite pen and just went with it... I did not really think about it to much I just started at one corner and doodled away and sipped my coffee :)<br />

This was allot of fun i think ill have to do some more but bigger! and include some hand stitching to add texture.You can use whatever colors that appeal to you and doodle what you see I think that's the best part of it everyone see's something different..have fun :)<br />

The more you experiment the more you learn on your own.Even mistakes are a good thing!<br />
Give yourself some time to really enjoy a new medium,figure out what you like what colors speak to you and heck even try some that you really don't care for at first they may surprise you!<br />
This has been a good summer experiment so far...now to make these papers into a book :)<br />
I do have a facebook friend who loves watercolors as much as I do she is preparing for a workshop with them and you should jump on over to her blog and have a look. I have noticed her and i are very like minded and I'm starting to think shes my watercolor sister lol! Her name is <a href="http://dianatrout.typepad.com/blog/">Diana Trout</a> and shes awesome!<br />
Here are a few pics of just some of my little experiments<br />

I just wish i got the bigger set of 120,Ill just have to save up for them<br />
or put them on my Christmas wish list :)<br />
Ive tried them on hot and cold press paper with no problem at all, not like some watercolor pencils that when they dry you can see the pencil marks.These also lift with ease with little to no staining,you can go back in after they dry to glaze to build up color and are fun wet in wet.Ill take a pic of some experiments later to show you<br />

But i was able to have it replaced thank goodness<br />
and i was able to use the video i was working on that i saved to the SD card.This is a new piece I'm working on called Sea Of Silk so far I've done the basic layout of the silk fibers..now that my camera is back i can continue filming some of the process<br />

Im just started the lay out of the fibers and just letting it happen,I work in a free flowing manner just letting myself lay down silk fibers without thinking to hard about where they will go,much like painting in abstract.Its in its early stages and much more work to be done..A lovely way to spend the morning.I am also filming parts of the process and when i get to the next stages I'll film more ..<br />

Last year or maybe a little longer i did do a few videos and put them on YouTube but for some reason i panicked and did not do any more.So here is a little one explaining about silk fibers that i use.. <br />
